[issue26819] _ProactorReadPipeTransport pause_reading()/resume_reading() broken if called before any read is perfored

2016-04-21 Thread Fulvio Esposito

New submission from Fulvio Esposito:

Calling pause_reading()/resume_reading() on a _ProactorReadPipeTransport will 
result in an InvalidStateError('Result is not ready.') from a future if no read 
has been issued yet. The reason is that resume_reading() will schedule 
_loop_reading() a second time on the event loop. For example, currently 
aiomysql always fails to connect using a ProactorEventLoop on Windows because 
it calls pause_reading()/resume_reading() to set TCP_NODELAY on the socket just 
after connecting and before any read is performed.

Request for research feedback

2011-09-15 Thread Fulvio Valente
Hi, I am a research intern at the University of Strathclyde who has been doing 
a summer research internship. I hope that this is not an inappropriate place to 
ask, but I am looking for participants willing to use and evaluate an 
application that was written as part of this internship. If you choose to 
participate, this should only take no more than an hour or two of your time at 
the very most, unless you wish to not use the analysis files provided.

My project is to experiment with ways of inferring and displaying 
socio-technical information about a software project from a version control 
repository by creating a prototype application. The application infers 
authorship information in the form of closeness scores between authors and 
the files they have worked on by traversing the history of a Mercurial 
repository. This is then displayed as a map of socio-technical dependencies 
between files and the authors that worked on them and between authors and the 
files they have worked on, which should allow for easy visual comparisons of 
closeness.

Some potential applications and use cases I can envision in the program's 
current form include discovering who the key figures are (i.e. who to talk to 
about a problem) or what the bus factor (how many people need to be hit by a 
bus before a project is in trouble because there's nobody left who understands 
it) is for a project or a subsystem within it. Perhaps a little more 
depressingly, this also maybe be used to highlight potential cases of poor 
productivity to be investigated.

The program itself, Jimmy (for lack of a better name), has a binary 
distribution which can be found at 
http://geeksoc.org/~fvalente/jimmy/jimmy_r1.zip and only requires Java 7 and 
Mercurial (other libraries are included), getting you started quickly. The 
source is available at https://bitbucket.org/fvalente/jimmy and if you wish to 
build it yourself, it depends on Guava r09 and JUNG 2.0.1 (api, algorithms, 
graph-impl, visualization) which itself depends on Apache Commons 
collections-generic 4.0.1.

To perform a basic analysis of a project, you can open a directory that's a 
Mercurial repository and it will just look at the list of commits and the files 
that changed, adding 1 to a score each time an author touches a file, which 
should only take a minute or two, even for large projects. If you have more 
time, you can do the more expensive diff stats analysis which compares the size 
of each diff with the average diff size of the project, excluding empty diffs 
and binary changes. Unfortunately, the diff stats analysis is very slow due to 
retrieving each diff requiring the spawning of a hg subprocess (for reference, 
my 4 year old quad-core machine can do only ~10,000 commits per hour). I don't 
have a progress UI yet, but progress status is sent to stdout when doing a diff 
stats analysis. Once analysis is complete, you can save the results to review 
later by using the open analysis results option.

To navigate the results you can switch to viewing a particular file or author 
of interest from the file and author lists on the left. For files, this will 
display that file as a node in the centre with the authors that have been 
involved with it as orbiting nodes, with the connecting lines' length, 
thickness and colour shortening, thickening and approaching red respectively as 
the closeness score between that author and the file increases. For authors, it 
is the same except the files they have worked on will be the orbiting nodes. 
You can also directly navigate to having a display based on an orbiting node by 
clicking it in the display rather than searching through the file or author 
lists. The display can be zoomed by using the scroll wheel and can be 
translated with the scroll bars or by dragging on an area not occupied by a 
node.

What I would like is for you to please run Jimmy on one or more Mercurial 
repositories of your choice and to give some feedback on it. Some questions I'd 
particularly like answered are:

* Do the closeness scores it produces match with your perception of the 
relationships between people and code in the project? (e.g. if you're looking 
at a particular file and some authors involved in it are shown as closer than 
others, is this the result you would have expected from a perfect version of 
Jimmy?)
* Does the visualisation of the scores substantially improve your ability to 
draw conclusions from the data compared to just reading a saved analysis (which 
is just plaintext)?
* If, hypothetically, you had no prior knowledge about the project, would using 
it help you to discover the key figures (e.g. maintainer, BDFL) behind the 
project or any of its subsystems? (Alternatively, do such people correctly show 
up as having touched a wider variety of files and with closer relations to them 
than other people?)
* If you were a manager would you be able to use it to discover potential 
productivity issues that you would then

Saving emails

2011-07-11 Thread Fulvio
Hello,

my curiosity these day lay around the problem given by Kmail2.
I'd like to keep my old emails and a backup would satisfy my needs. The only 
conditions should be that the mails will come back in a quick way.
I found this page
http://www.ducea.com/2006/11/25/cleanup-maildir-folders-archive-delete-old-
mails/

Which gives me some point, but the program is too old and I'd like to use 
Python 3. Another chance it would be to implement an IMAP server which move 
old emails in and out of an archive. Then it will be simple to recall old 
emails.

Some docs about email deciphering. Kmail uses a maildir and several 
subfolders. I'd like to export the emails in mbox file and perhaps to 
separate by a period of time, say July2010, September2010 end so forth.

Thanks in advance

CPU management

2007-01-05 Thread Fulvio D'Antonio
Hello everybody,
I usally develop a lot of expensive (in terms of CPU usage) algorithms. I would 
like to develop something that allows my application to run quietly all day 
long with a little CPU usage, so that I can work in the meanwhile!
I was wondering if there is a way to limit the CPU usage: e.g. 10% instead of 
100%, or to let the algorithm to be resumed only when the CPU usage changes.

I think these kind of things are called resource management. So, are there 
facilities for this in Python=


I'm running Python2.4 on Windows XP.

Thank you for your help.

If it's meant to evidentiate then you should scan each byte an print it out
i.e.

 for c in o.read():

unfortunately it will be a space between each letter. Maybe using

As far as I could understand this:

will it do the set on the file or do I have to issue a cp.write(fp) in order

This give me the right point.

  Supposing to have a function on program's variables the statement like

 I definitively don't understand you. How does statements in your program
 relates to setting conditions on a bp in the debugger ?

The online help states :
|(Pdb) h b
|b(reak) ([file:]lineno | function) [, condition]
|With a line number argument, set a break there in the current
|file.  With a function name, set a break at first executable line
|of that function.  Without argument, list all breaks.  If a second
|argument is present, it is a string specifying an expression
|which must evaluate to true before the breakpoint is honored.

(Pdb) is the prompt, as you can see.

I was thinking the condition is anything python can digest .Therefore an 'if 
condition: code' should be accepted. Editing a BP with a condition like that 
is taken as good (perhaps there's no check on its validity)

 Did you really bother reading the doc
http://www.python.it/doc/Python-Docs/html/lib/debugger-commands.html
I downloaded all directory tree :)
Doesn't make difference in what is wrote on those and what is given at command 
line help. If my ignorance disturbing too much, feel free to ignore it any 
time. (No flame intention, however) I appreciate your help and these replies 
will make easier for somebody else when a search engine will hit this post.

|(Pdb) b 17
|Breakpoint 3 at /home/user/tmp/mbxreader.py:17
|(Pdb) cl 3
|No breakpoint numbered 3
|(Pdb) h cl
|cl(ear) filename:lineno
|cl(ear) [bpnumber [bpnumber...]]
|With a space separated list of breakpoint numbers, clear
|those breakpoints.  Without argument, clear all breaks 

Do I input wrongly?
Finally I've done some test on pydb, I felt no much differences. But also the 
author tried to keep compatibility with Pdb/Bdb, except some more functions.

Thank you for the enlightment :-)
In my case it's meant to check a couple of files, but no more than 10 Mbytes.
The most purpose is to find differences since last check. I suppose it's a 
good way, as other programs using CRC as comparison between file, better than 
byte-to-byte diff. Also CD images and big files download are giving a MD5 
check.
My point stand as platform indipendent solution and won't take extra fancy 
modules which aren't part of python package itself. I'll look at SVF and 
timestamp options. I'm less actracted by the idea of 'stat' on the file, Now 
I'm on linux and I've some doubt about win32 options.

At the present my program can do filtering and sincronizing with local MUA

Hello,

but neither email framework nor mailbox give me the idea how to handle *one* 
email complete of payload and attachment (if any).
This purpose will give me chance to avoid duplicates and I suppose to achieve

It's welcome to point me to useful information. Surely I'm not asking 
ready-made solution :-).

BTW sorry to whom feel hurt by the virus scan banner. That's not generated

Thank you for your details. The pdb that I'm talking about, can be found 
in /usr/lib/python2.4/pdb.py (an C:\python2.4\lib\pdb.py for the win32

I'll give a look to pydb site...

The previous post I might have missed some explaination on my proceeding. I'd 
say that I'm testing a small program under pdb control 
(python /usr/lib/python2.4/pdb.py ./myprog.py). So pdb will load myprog and 
stop the first line code.
Once I'm at the pdb command line I can issue the commands available inside the 
pdb itself. Concerning the mentioned BP function I meant to set a 
counter/function which let the BP run until reach the true condition. 
Then condition is one of the pdb commands which let add a conditon to a BP.
The reference Manual gives information for all the pdb functions, but aren't 
detailed, specially on how to set up BP conditions, like countdown, timed and 
camparison conditions.

Hope I've been clear this time :-)

The pdb.py is much of what I need. Running the program can stop in critical

several print from the code.
Obvious, it's referred for programs which aren't time critical.

Hello,

I'm trying out a small utility and my method uses PDB for debugging. I tried 
to read some information regarding the commands of PDB but are rather 
synthetic. Mostly I'd like to understand the use of  condition command in 
terms to use breakpoints (BP) with functions.
Simple the first doubt was a counted BP. What variable using that BP and which 
function can be taken from the command line?

I'd point out that :
 allow = re.search(r'.*(?!\.com)\.my(|$)',adr)

Will do as yours, since the call to 're' class will do the compilation as here 
it's doing separately.

 Though having the explicit allow and deny expressions may make what's
 going on clearer than the fairly esoteric negative lookbehind.

This makes me think that your point is truly correct.
The option for my case is meant as  deny all except those are specified. 
Also may go viceversa. Therefore I should refine the way the filtering act.
In fact the (temporarily) ignored score is the base of the method to be 
applied.
Obviously here mainly we are talking about email addresses, so my intention is 
like the mailfilter concept, which means the program may block an entire 
domain but some are allowed and all from .my are allowed but not those 
from .com.my (mostly annoying emails :P )

At the sum of the view I've considered a flexible programming as much as I'm 
thinking that may be published some time to benefit for multiplatform user as 
python is.
In such perspective I'm a bit curious to know if exist sites on the web where 
small program are welcomed and people like me can express all of their 
ignorance about the mode of using python. For such ignorance I may concour 
for the Nobel Price :)

Also the News Group doesn't contemplate the idea to split into beginners and

 I would think the allow(keep?) filters would always have priority over deny

It's a term which discerning capacity are involved. The previous post got this 
point up. I think to allow all .uk (let us say) but not info.uk (all

on .info.uk surely that doesn't match only .uk.


 I think keeping the allow filter seperate from the deny filter is good.
Agreed with you. Simply I was supposing the regex can do negative matching.

 You might be able to merge the header lines and run the filters across the
 whole header at once instead of each line.

I got into this idea, which is good, I still need a bit of thinking to code

 |It's not exactly clear on what output you are seeking.  If you want 0 for

Actually the return code is like herein:

if _filter(hdrs,allow,deny):
# allow and deny are objects prepared by re.compile(pattern)
_del(Num_of_Email)

In short, it means unwanted to be deleted. 
And now the function is :

def _filter(msg,al,dn):
 Filter try to classify a list of lines for a set of compiled
 
 patterns.
a = 0
for hdrline in msg:
# deny has the first priority and stop any further searching. Score 10 
 #times
if dn.search(hdrline): return len(msg) * 10
if al.search(hdrline): return 0
a += 1
return a # it returns with a score of rejected matches or zero if none


The patterns are taken from a configuration file. Those with Axx ='pattern' 
are allowing streams the others are Dxx to block under different criteria.
Here they're :

[Filters]
A01 = ^From:.*\.it\b
A02 = ^(To|Cc):.*frioio@
A03 = ^(To|Cc):.*the_sting@
A04 = ^(To|Cc):.*calm_me_or_die@
A05 = ^(To|Cc):.*further@
A06 = ^From:.*\.za\b
D01 = ^From:.*\.co\.au\b
D02 = ^Subject:.*\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\*

*A bit of fake in order to get some privacy* :)
I'm using configparser to fetch their value and they're are joint by :

allow = re.compile('|'.join([k[1] for k in ifil if k[0] is 'a']))
deny = re.compile('|'.join([k[1] for k in ifil if k[0] is 'd']))

ifil is the input filter's section.

At this point I suppose that I have realized the right thing, just I'm a bit 
curious to know if ithere's a better chance and realize a single regex 
compilation for all of the options.
Basically the program will work, in term of filtering as per config and

Hello,

I'm trying to get working an assertion which filter address from some domain 
but if it's prefixed by '.com'.
Even trying to put the result in a negate test I can't get the wanted result.

The tought in program term :

 def filter(adr):
... import re
... allow = re.compile('.*\.my(|$)')
... deny = re.compile('.*\.com\.my(|$)')
... cnt = 0
... if deny.search(adr): cnt += 1
... if allow.search(adr): cnt += 1
... return cnt
...
 filter('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
2
 filter('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
1


Seem that I miss some better regex implementation to avoid that both of the 
filters taking action. I'm thinking of lookbehind (negative or positive) 
option, but I think I couldn't realize it yet.
I think the compilation should either allow have no '.com' before '.my' or 
deny should have _only_ '.com' before '.my'. Sorry I don't get the correct 
sintax to do it.

Suggestions are welcome.

Hello,

Sorry, I very new in programming and the use of the classes still unknown.
I'm really interested to apply the right one as far as the results aren't as 
expected.

Here's the example:

from poplib import POP3
ProtocolError = 'Error in Protocol'  # handler for IMAP4 and POP3 errors

try:
_pop = POP3(args[0])
_pop.user(args[1])
except:
raise ProtocolError
a.append( 'STAT = POP Server %s reply\n %s\n' %(args[0], _pop.pass_(args[2])))
(numMsgs, totalSize) = _pop.stat()
for cnt in range(1, numMsgs +1):
#Need a cleanup for the envelope header  'Unix-From'

try:
msgs =_pop.top(cnt,0)[1]
except:
raise ProtocolError

# Here I'd like to have some part removed and I known that some class in email 
# will do the neat job without missing any of the needed detail

hdrs = [k for itms in ('from', 'to', 'cc',
'date', 'subject', 'reply-to', 'message-')
for k in msgs if k.startswith(itms.capitalize())]

# This isn't the right risult. Some time missing one of the wanted item.

_pop.quit()

I've put my opinions as comments, in order to copy and try. The args contains 
(pop address, user, and password) respectively.
The list comprehension fails for some comparison, might be more accurate a 
regex, I just fill too complicated  for a simple scan and I know that there 
are already good classes that will do the right way. I just miss the learning 
how to use them.

This a part of a small program, which will attempt to organize all the emails, 
locals and remote in order to do spam removal and/or backup the good ones.
I'd like somebody to join, not for a speedy result but for a joy of exchanging 
technics and tricks.

A fix to bluepin

Hello List,

I'm very beginner on programming, I''m studing some fix on the Bluez's

# Bluetooth spec recommends automatic strong random PIN generation.
# So eventually we should implement that. 
pin = { PIN:  }

if dir == out:
mesg = Outgoing connection to 
else:
mesg = Incoming connection from 

mesg = mesg + name + [ + bdaddr + ]

if dialog(title, mesg, pin) == DLG_OK:
pin[PIN] = string.strip(pin[PIN])
for i in pin:
if i not in digits:
print ERR
break

if len(pin[PIN]) = 1 and len(pin[PIN]) = 16:
print PIN: + pin[PIN]
else:
print ERR

print ERR

#
main()
=
Code /end:

Assumed that digits is:
  from string import digits  (equal to 1234567890)
(Perhaps I could avoid such import ad assigned directly :-) )
Assumed that the purpose would be to don't print ERR but to return back to 
main.
Therefore may I recursively call main() ?
Does it re-open a new window, if I do so?
Does it re-ask new args?

There should be cvs package in the python directory. Why don't you try that 
way?
Reading some help gives more details of its use.

For a number of 4 digit, but I think I miscalculated some lenght variation.

The reason of this is because it won't leave previous printing. But I also got 
some wrong positioning :-)

Re: how to create file with spaces

 How can i deal with spaces in this case?
I don't have an idea with python, but if can help I may say that bash you 
might use \  to escape a space or use a quoted full path.
The shell program basename is failing, anyhow with file names containing 
spaces.

Re: detecting drives for windows and linux

 Hi, I'm writing a file browser, but I'm not sure how I could go about
 detecting the drives available

I was just asking a similar question some days back. I'm planning to try a file catalogger.
I just remember something about Win32API, but I didn't find anything on the linux side.
Frankly I got some curious info that concerns 'Bacula', disk backup. And a part of it is use to browse and catalog file.

I think we should read some line of code on that program.

 different partitions might have, though. Then again, it all depends on
 the filesystems in use.
Then I should make some extra programming to catch these info, according to 
which OS will run it :-(
Regarding the names, CDROMs DVD have a label, which might be written during 
the burning process. Also partition have name, which can be written by fdisk, 
or in MS windows properties.
Just a comparison :  Imaging something like WhereIsIt (Windows) Gwhere 
(Linux), but in my opinion I'd like to give it free and less weak (as the 
before-mentioned programs).

Some info

2006-03-22 Thread Fulvio
Hello,

I'm very new of Python programming. I just wrote some hundred lines of a 
programm.
Now, I'd like to go some step farther and make a disk cataloger. There are 
plenty for win, but few for linux. So, I'd like to write one which is for win 
and linux.
I'm, actually, a bit stuck on how to collect informations regarding disk names 
(CDroms or USB HDs).
The matter is rather difficult if is suppose to make the programm running for 
linux as much as it would do for MSW.

Suggestions are very  welcome.

 Depends on what names you want.

It seems clear that was _disk_ names. If isn't to much would be also useful to 
know the serial number, so will avoid to record a disk twice. On  Win, we can 
call Win32API, but this won't work for linux :-(
It's my opinion that python should read some partition table or disk header to 
find these informations.

For the remaining information will suffice a os.walk(path). OK I'm not 100% 
sure what's that function, but I remember that there's for win and lin. Later 
I'll go deeper for info according the MIME file type.
